SIX vs THU Key Players

Steve Smith

Steve Smith has found his hands in T20 Cricket. He is in some commanding form and is nailing the openers role as he has started to find some decent scores and boundaries nicely.

Chris Green

With Sangha out, Chris Green has more responsibility on him. He is a pretty talented spinner who has not really got his dues up until now but with the spotlight likely to be on him more he could finally step up and out of the shadows.
